The "Making Of" documentary was apparently finished but they didn't find anyone to buy it so it stayed in the can...or maybe more work was needed and they needed a buyer to put up some funds so they could justify finishing it. Either way, it seems the ship has now sailed for this project.

If I calculated correctly, the promotional period for hackney diamonds ends this April. So technically they could release a new album anytime after that, I imagine.
I think they have at least one more song featuring Paul McCartney in the can, and I believe there's probably another track with Dua Lipa too. They probably would want to get that out there, especially if it turned out good.
It's my opinion there might be really good songs in the can that didn't make hackney diamonds because they didn't fit the feel of that album. So maybe there's a possibility that the next album will have a distinctly different overall vibe.

With the Rolling Stones' 2025 tour now officially cancelled, many fans are wondering—what’s next for our favourite band? While it’s a disappointment not to see them live, Mick is known for keeping busy.
There are already rumors and speculation about possible projects in the works. Could we see:
- A Hackney Diamonds follow-up album with unreleased material?
- A Hackney Diamonds “Making Of” documentary giving us a behind-the-scenes look?
- A Black and Blue Special Edition reissue with rare tracks and live recordings?
There are people on here who know a lot of rumors—what are the rumoured projects? I really want to look forward to something!

It is?
I didn't count October 2023, I started counting on November 2023. It still seems to me that the end of April 2025 would mean a little over 18 months had passed since the end of October 2023.

Is a (delayed) late summer /late autumn tour in Europe fully out of discussion? I remember in 2017 the tour starting in September was announced in May (following false rumours of an earlier start in that year)... I still keep on dreaming on history repeating...

Thank you for not saying "maths", which makes zero sense!!! That is 100% stupid.

then release it at the end of the tour

It really isn't. We say Maths in the UK, where the English language comes from.

But Mick doesn't like it when the audience is super passive during brand new ('unknown') songs.

As mentioned above, I was really hoping for autumn dates as everyone seems to be in good health. I think someone cited a Spanish promoter that the deadline for pulling that together is April. All we can do is hope
If not, I say let’s move on and get that album out there and put something together for next year. Fingers always crossed
